Bio edit
Hi there! My name is Jeff and I am a violist interested in adding and sourcing viola literature on Wikipedia.
Inspiration edit
Historically, violists have found it difficult to find good original compositions for the viola, or at the very least, good transcriptions, especially in the baroque, romantic, and classical styles. With this account I hope to add some well known pieces (and a few obscure ones) for viola to a few lists so that the information is available to other violists and music literature nuts everywhere. I'm not a professional but I hope some of the knowledge I do have will be helpful!
